Awaken the Beast: Sculpting Animals in Hot Glass


  • Salem Community College Samuel and Jean Jones Glass Education Center 460 Hollywood Avenue Carneys Point, NJ, 08069 United States (map)

Explore the potential of working with hot glass as a sculptural medium. This class will focus on using both solid and blown sculpting techniques to create animals and animal-inspired sculptures. We will bring sculptures to life using a variety of torches and sculpting techniques, which include solid sculpting, inside sculpting, assembly of parts, color application, garage use, and - most importantly - teamwork. Problem solving will be emphasized, and students are encouraged to bring images of inspiration.
